Item 7.01
Regulation FD Disclosure
 
On February 24, 2011, CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (“the Company”) closed on the sale of Oak Hollow Mall in High Point, NC.  The property was sold to High Point University for a gross sales price of $9.0 million.  Net proceeds from the sale were used to repay the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest of $40.3 million on the non-recourse loan secured by the property. This payoff is in accordance with the lender’s agreement to modify the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest to equal the net sales price for the property.  CBL expects to record a gain on the extinguishment of debt of approximately $31.4 million in the first quarter 2011.  The Company expects to also record a loss on impairment of real estate in the first quarter 2011 of approximately $2.7 million to write down the book value of the property to the net sales price. Both the gain on extinguishment of debt and the loss on impairment of real estate will be included in funds from operations.
